Toolset Starter Theme is a clean and modern Bootstrap-based theme, designed to help you get started using Toolset plugins. It is a great starting point for your Toolset-based sites, as it lets you set everything up using Toolset plugins, exactly how you want.
In our documentation pages, you can find instructions on how to install and use Toolset starter theme.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us what you want to achieve.
Problem: I would like to customize some aspects of the Toolset Starter Theme, including the menu style.
Solution: You can write any custom CSS you would like to override the Toolset Starter Theme's styles. You can also go to Appearance > Customize > Advanced Settings to disable the theme's CSS. Then you can add any CSS overrides in Toolset > Layouts CSS, or to a child theme's style.css file. To remove the background color from the main menu and make the link text red, you can do something like this:
.navbar-default, body .ddl-navbar-default {
background: none;
}
.ddl-navbar-nav > li > a {
color: red;
}
If you are starting a custom theme, I do not recommend basing it on Toolset Starter Theme. This theme is being deprecated and should not be used as anything but a reference.
Problem: I am using the Toolset Starter theme and I would like to customize the menus to look like an existing site.
Solution: If you have a specific design in mind, or a theme you want to emulate, I would not use Toolset Starter theme. Its markup, stylesheets and features may actually cause more problems than it solves.
Problem:
When we use Toolset Layouts, can we add a HTML tag that wraps the entire Layout?
We can add them to single rows and cells, but I want to add them to the entire Layout.
Solution:
This is not possible out of the box.
It requires custom code.
The issue here is that the user is using the wordpress default customizer option under Appearance to add some custom css to the site but it does not work.
Solution:
We are no longer actively developing the Toolset Starter Theme, it is effectively deprecated in favour of working with recommended themes listed here: https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/
So I would recommend that you use one of our recommended themes.
Problem: I would like to show custom fields and the wpv-woo-buy-or-select shortcode when I hover over my WooCommerce product image, but the link does not work.
Solution: It's not possible to use the wpv-woo-buy-or-select shortcode inside a link tag, because it generates its own link tag. Nested link tags are invalid HTML and will not behave as expected. Therefore, you must use a different method to create the hover effect if you want to place the wpv-woo-buy-or-select shortcode in the hover.
